Dear Colleagues,

We are glad to announce the launching of the UM Sensory Science Initiative. This initiative aims at bringing together faculty, students, fellows and staff interested in all aspects of sensory science in all UM schools.

https://sites.google.com/umich.edu/mssi/home

The Michigan Sensory Sciences Initiative aims to:
• Identify and Promote points of Research Excellence in the Sensory Sciences
• Synergize Collaborations and New Projects across Sensory Systems and Disciplines
• Catalyze Public Knowledge of the Sensory Sciences through Interdisciplinary Events and Performances

We also invite you to participate in the inaugural Symposium for the UM Sensory Science Initiative, to be held at the A. Alfred Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building (BSRB) on Tuesday, October 30th, 8AM-5:30PM.

https://sites.google.com/umich.edu/mssi/symposium

The symposium will feature 3 keynote speakers (see attached flyer) and have two poster sessions. We encourage you to submit a poster abstract using the link below (this will also serve as your registration). If you wish to attend, but do not plan to present a poster, please use the registration link.
Please, forward this email to anybody you believe might be interested.

Abstracts are due Oct 7.

“A novel mode of RNA maturation in viruses…and beyond?”

Abstract:
RNA is a very functionally diverse macromolecule, performing a large variety of tasks in the cell. Viruses also use RNA to manipulate the cellular machinery in unexpected ways, and the remarkable variety of RNA-based strategies used by viruses thus gives a window into the RNA world and its capabilities. How is RNA able to perform so many different tasks? The answer
lies, in part, in the ability of RNA elements to fold into complex and unexpected three-dimensional conformations that then interact with their cellular targets and alter the target’s function. By combining structural biology, virology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, and biophysics, we seek to understand the three-dimensional folds of these RNA elements, their conformational dynamics, how they manipulate the cellular machinery, and how this relates to viral infection. In this presentation, I will present discoveries from my lab regarding RNA elements that have the ability to
specifically block the ability of exonucleases to degrade RNA, leading to the production of pathogenic viral non-coding RNAs. I will reveal the structural basis for this ability, and also how we are finding these RNAs in diverse places, how we are using them to engineer novel research tools, and how we believe we have discovered a general mode of RNA maturation that may exist beyond the viral RNA world, in cellular RNAs.

Organized By: Engaging Scientists in Policy and Advocacy

ESPA is happy to announce a new event series entitled ‘ESPApers’, a Science-Related Current Events Journal Club to foster a healthy and informal discussion. The plan is to hold a monthly journal club-like discussion, through selecting science-related current topics of interest to both scientists and the public, and deconstructing articles and white papers of differing opinions. Finally, we are collaborating with MiSciWriters for these events with the goal of writing a blog post summarizing the discussion of the group each month.

Our first topic will delve into discussing open access publishing of scholarly articles. What are the benefits and responsibilities of researchers to be open and transparent with their research findings to the public? What are the drawbacks, risks and considerations related to moving towards completely open access? We will explore both sides of the debate, using the following short reads to lead the discussion:
Open Access: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly - https://bitesizebio.com/34520/open-access-good-bad-ugly/
UC terminates subscriptions with Elsevier - https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/press-room/uc-terminates-subscriptions-worlds-largest-scientific-publisher-push-open-access-publicly
Free Access to Science Research Doesn't Benefit Everyone - https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/12/free-access-to-science-research-doesnt-benefit-everyone/383875/

Please RSVP, we will have coffee and some snacks, please bring your own bagged lunch! Also suggest new topics for future meetings and let us know of your interest in writing a future summary blog post. We look forward to seeing you at the first ESPApers event!

Location: Taubman Biomedical Science Research Building
Organized By: Department of Human Genetics

The James V. Neel Lecture will take place Tuesday, May 21, 2019 at 2:00 pm in BSRB Kahn Auditorium. The speaker is Dr. James Lupski, from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. The Lecture honors James V. Neel, former Chair of the Department of Human Genetics for over 25 years, and a pioneer in the field of genetics.

Dr. Lupski is The Cullen Foundation Endowed Chair in Molecular and Human Genetics and Professor of Pediatrics. He received his initial scientific training at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory as an Undergraduate Research Participant (URP). At New York University, he received his undergraduate degree in chemistry and biology (1979) and earned a doctorate in biochemistry and molecular biology, and an M.D. in 1985. In 1986, he moved to Houston, Texas for clinical training in pediatrics (1986-1989) and medical genetics (1989-1992) and then established his own laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine where he remains, and as of 1995, as the Cullen Professor.

Dr. Lupski's research focuses on understanding mutational mechanisms and linking specific mutations and genes to human disease. Dr. Lupski started his laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine in 1989, where he still resides. His most significant contributions to genomics are centered around conceptualizing and understanding the mechanisms underlying genomic disorders. This is seen through his studies of Charcot-Marie Tooth (CMT) disease - specifically, duplication of the CMT1A gene. In 1991, Dr. Lupski showed that CMT1A copy number variation (CNV) and gene dosage are causes of CMT-related peripheral nerve dysfunction. In 2014, he and his colleagues found that the presence of three copies of CMT1A on one chromosome 17, a phenomenon known as triplication, causes a more severe form of CMT. His group was also the first to describe non-allelic homologous recombination as a mechanism for CNV formation and chromosomal aberrations. These discoveries, with parallels and potential applications to other genomic disorders, furthered scientific understanding of the relationships between genetic variants and disease outcomes, helped define the field of genomic medicine, and are paving the way for precision medicine.

In 2018, Dr. Lupski was named as the recipient of the Victor A. McKusick Leadership Award from the American Society of Human Genetics. This award recognizes individuals whose professional achievements have fostered and enriched the development of human genetics as well as its assimilation into the broader context of science, medicine, and health.

Following the lecture, there will be a poster session/reception. For more information, contact the Department of Human Genetics, 734-647-3149.

Abstract: RNA regulation permeates neurobiology. Nociceptors are sensory neurons tasked with the detection of pain producing stimuli. Persistent changes in their activity, termed plasticity, benefit survival through injury avoidance. Nociceptors rely on cap-dependent translation to rapidly increase protein synthesis in response to pro-inflammatory signals. Comparatively little is known regarding the role of the regulatory factors bound to the 3' end of mRNA in nociceptor sensitization. Poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) stimulates translation initiation by bridging the Poly(A) tail to the eukaryotic initiation factor 4F complex associated with the mRNA cap. We have developed an RNA-based competitive inhibitor of PABP that attenuates behavioral responses to pain in mice. To identify the Poly(A) mRNAs subject to privileged translation in response to noxious cues, we have applied ribosome profiling to primary sensory neurons and tissues. A small number of transcripts are selectively translated in response to plasticity mediators. Among them is the capsid forming protein Arc. Arc has been implicated in synaptic plasticity and learning in the brain. We demonstrate that the ribosomal S6 kinase 1 is responsible for Arc production in nociceptors and describe a new role for local translation of Arc in afferent fibers. Collectively, our findings uncover mechanisms and targets of RNA control in sensory neurons that can be exploited to disrupt pain signaling.
